We all know load of people who just don't care. They expect gov't to take care of them when something happens. Now yes, gov't will be there eventually but for some time they will be forced to be on their own. And who do you think they are going to look up to? You - the prepared one. Now there will be two groups of people and first one will ask for help while the second one will take what they want.

People know I'm prepared but my charming personality also lets them know that polite is the way to go with me and not the attitude. In case of emergency I have a loose agreement with my friends who will be more than happy to set up a network together and pull supplies setting up organzied and orderly way of life until resolution happens.

Now for little stuff PSK, FAK, flashlight and cutting tools I'm more than happy to share.
